You may have noticed while watching "Guess That Seedling" that some seedlings look similar to others. Often this is because plants belong to families, just like humans. And like humans, the plants within those families sometimes look similar! For example, when watching the video I thought the first seedlings might be chives or onions, but they were actually leeks. Leeks, onions, and chives are all part of the Allium family, along with garlic, scallions, and shallots. What else do these plants have in common? Sometimes plants within the same family have seeds and flowers that look alike, and they might even taste similar.

If you have any of these plants growing in your garden or stored in your refrigerator, take some time to think about how they are similar and how they're different. You can also find pictures in a seed catalog or on the internet, compare pictures of members of these plant families side by side. Do broccoli and kale taste a little similar? Do the leaves of a pea plant resemble clover leaves? Do the flowers of members of the Carrot Family look like Queen Anne's Lace? Is it surprising that potatoes and peppers are related?

Garlic mustard is a member of the brassica family, along with broccoli, kale, and cabbage. True to its name, it tastes of garlic and mustard. It's most commonly found in forested areas under partial shade, but plants will grow in areas ranging from full sun to full shade, in both moist and dry soil.

This week while working in your garden, keep an eye out for grubs! The grubs most commonly found in Massachusetts are the larva stage of certain types of beetles, such as the Japanese beetle, scarab beetle, asiatic garden beetle, European chafer, and Oriental beetle. Grubs may look similar to a worm or caterpillar, but they have a characteristic C-shape and are usually found under the soil.

If using raw fish: Soak the fish in the lemon juice, lime juice, salt and pepper for 30 minutes – 1 hour. Then cut the fish into small 1/2 inch bites.

If using cooked fish: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and place fish filets in a lightly oiled baking dish. Sprinkle with some salt and pepper and bake for 12-15 minutes until fish is flaky and moist. When fish is done let it cool completely and cut into small 1/2 inch bites. Place remaining ingredients in a medium bowl and toss together with the fish until well combined. Place in refrigerator to marinate until ready to eat. Serve with tortilla chips and sliced avocado and enjoy!
